On Saturday, the president "reposted a video on his social media platform, Truth Social, of someone falsely insinuating that Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota was involved in the assassination because the man now charged with the killings, Vance Boelter, was on a state panel under Mr. Walz’s administration. That man killed Ms. Hortman, according to the false theory, because she had voted against providing health care to undocumented immigrants, opposing Mr. Walz."
"The video that Mr. Trump reposted also claimed, without offering any evidence, that Ms. Hortman was aware of a Minnesota fraud scheme that did not fully come to light until months after she died."
"In truth, the authorities have said, Mr. Boelter trafficked in conspiracy theories, and before his arrest, he wrote to the F.B.I. claiming that the shootings were part of a conspiracy involving Mr. Walz and the state’s Senate seats. Mr. Boelter has pleaded not guilty."
How is it a child is in the White House pretending to run our country and getting away with such atrocities? I'm so sad that so few in Congress are willing or able to stand up to this man. However, I do understand they tried so hard during the Biden administration and look where that got them.
